Learning to Fly - We make it fun, affordable, and convenient!

Spirit Aviation is Georgia-Carolina's answer to flight training. Located in Thomson, GA, this premiere flight school offers flight training for the beginning Recreational, Private, Instrument, and Commercial Pilot. Whether you're a local student or an international student, our flight school provides an ideal training site with low traffic, a practice area nearby, and easy access to the Augusta Regional Airport.

Whether your interest in flying is becoming a recreational pilot to fly your friends and family to the Keys for a cheeseburger in paradise, or, you are seeking a career in commercial aviation, we can take you where you want to go. We realize that dreams come in all sizes, and we're here to make yours come true. Learning to fly has never been easier, and our new, state-of-the-art aircraft provide the optimum flying experience.

At Spirit Aviation we believe there are two kinds of people: those who are pilots, and those who want to be pilots. If you already are a pilot and are interested in additional ratings, we can provide the flight training you need to begin a career in aviation. If you have been looking wistfully towards the clouds for as long as you can remember, we can accommodate you as well. We provide a highly trained staff of flight instructors and new Cessna Skyhawks, and you provide the desire and enthusiasm.

If your preference is sitting in a noisy classroom trying to make sense of a lecture and an overhead projector, you'll need to go somewhere else. We pride ourselves on the one-on-one instruction our flight instructors provide to student pilots. You will build a comfortable, trusting rapport with your instructor as he (or she) guides you through the skies. So you have a busy schedule and don't think you can spare a few hours a week towards flying? Think again. Our personal approach to instruction is designed around your schedule. Pencil us in for a Discovery Flight to see what we mean. Take the controls on your first flight, and don't be shy when you run into friends later that day. Casually mention, "I was flying an airplane today," and brace yourself for the reaction. "You're kidding? Isn't that hard? Don't you need a kazillion hours of training? Isn't it super expensive?" You can look them in the eye, then confidently and honestly answer, "No! Flying is something anyone can do!"

At Spirit Aviation we understand your passion for flying. Remember, we were once beginning pilots, too, so helping you achieve your dream is how we live our dream. We have done everything possible to make it happen. With customized scheduling, personalized and computer-based instruction, affordable rates, and state-of-the art equipment, Spirit Aviation is the obvious choice to realize your dream of becoming a pilot. We also welcome transfer students from other flight schools or students who got sidetracked somewhere along the way. Spirit can help you finish up your flight training no matter how long it's been since you've flown.

Why fly at Spirit? Ask around. Check the other flight schools. Look at their planes. Talk to their students. Then, come and talk to us. When you see our aircraft, meet our staff, and hear what our students say about us, you'll be ready to join the Spirit family of fliers. Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm, and our students are nothing short of enthusiastic. We salute them for their dedication and commitment to achieving their goals and reaching their dreams. The staff at Spirit Aviation is proud to share in their achievement. Take the first step - a Discovery Flight - and let the rest be history... your history!
